THE CORONAS (IRL)

The Coronas’ sixth album marks more than a fresh start. If its five, platinum-selling predecessors were chapters in the career of one of Ireland’s biggest, best-loved bands, True Love Waits is a whole new book.

A quartet for 13 years, last summer, The Coronas became a trio when guitarist Dave McPhillips unexpectedly left. Briefly they questioned whether to continue, but once the shock had subsided, something dawned on the Dubliners. If they weren’t the band they used to be, why make music as they always had?
